9.6/10 Exceptional! (282 reviews)

This small, quite, friendly and clean boutique hotel is an amazing gem located on the north side of Clearwater Beach. You will find warm and welcoming staff, easy parking, a convenient location and access to plenty of new and comfy Tommy Bahama beach chairs, beach umbrellas and boggie boards. We loved the large and roomy suites at Avalon and were even able to get into our 3 bedroom gulf front suite early by 12 noon, a wonderful suprise. Plus we were able to obtain an extra parking pass for our party. The beach is steps away and lovely, no where near as crowded as you will find at the larger resorts on the south end. We have stayed at nearly all the larger resorts on the beach and have now found our favorite location at The Avalon Club. We will be repeat patrons for years to come!!

Make sure to visit the Henry B. Plant Museum. It can take from 1 - 3 hours depending upon your level of interest. It had great artifacts and allowed us to understand more of Tampa's past.
